St. James NEST Speaker Series "Aging in Place: What's Your Plan"

Decluttering Your Home for Safety and Wellness

Speakers: Taryn Lamb and Donna Epps, Certified Professional Organizers, Stagers and Move Managers, Organized Havens

Our living and working environments greatly affect our mental, emotional and physical well being, as well as our productivity. Professional Organizers, Stagers and Move Managers, Taryn Lamb and Donna Epps will discuss the reasons why your home is cluttered and/or disorganized and why decluttering is especially important as you age. They will give you tips to organizing success and ideas to streamline your daily activities and simplify your life, leaving you more time for the people and activities that are really important.

This program represents one event within the 2022-23 St. James NEST Speaker Series themed Aging in Place:  What’s Your Plan? Nearly 90% of adults over age 50 — across all age, race, income, and health status categories—want to remain at home and “age in place.”  But staying in your home is a wish, not a plan. The upcoming speaker series will address how to make that wish more likely to become reality.  If you aren’t yet familiar with St. James NEST, its purpose is to provide services and support to St. James' residents to enhance their ability to make aging in place a reality. The 2022-23 Speaker Series will have programs in September, November, January, March and May. Please check the St. James Events Calendar for details on the other programs.
